Found this at my local co-op and gave it a try.
It was the 22oz wax covered bottle.
I liked that it was organic, and it was a Black IPA. (kinda)
It poured very smooth and had a more brownish caramel color, with
malty scents. It goes down smooth and doesn't have a harsh after taste.
I find that with the dark IPA's drinking them not super chilled suits my pallet
better than a getting it cold cold.
As for comparison there are definitely better black IPA's out there.
Probably would not buy again.

750 ml bottle, no apparent bottled on date, but 2013 vintage printed on the back label. I know this beer is starting to get up there in age for a black IPA, but the local beer store just got bottles of this in recently, so I figured I would try it out. "Certified organic by Oregon Tilth".
Poured into a clear balloon snifter.
A - Well, for a black IPA, this beer isn't actually black at all. It pours a dark woodsy brown, with lots of red and ruby showing through when held to the light. Three to four big fluffy fingers of khaki foam for a head that sticks around for a good long while and leaves behind lots of scattered webbed lacing.
S - Smell is comprised of earthy / herbal hops, mild pine / grapefruit, cream, notes of cola, and some chocolate.
T - Taste follows the nose, and is classic of the style - earthy, herbal, piney hops, grapefruit, orange, roasted malt, chocolate, and lots of roasty coffee bean bitterness.
M - Feel is smooth and creamy, with lots of piney / grapefruit bitterness and dark coffee bean roastiness lingering on the palate. Sticky, dry, and bitter. Medium bodied with good carbonation.
Overall, a very nicely done take on the black IPA from Sierra Nevada, much more enjoyable than the Sierra Nevada Blindfold Black IPA which I had recently. I'm glad to say that this beer has aged gracefully over the past six months or so, and if it is still available to you, I'd recommend it.

25 oz bottle that was wax sealed, poured into a snifter: pours pitch black color that looks dark brown when held up to light with a huge foamy 2 finger dark tan head that was full of microscopically small bubbles and faded very slowly, leaving excellent foamy lacing coating the sides and rings as it went down – standard good looks from Sierra Nevada.
Smells like roasted malt and burnt grains up front, with charcoal, molasses, cocoa, ground coffee, herbs and faint piney hops; this smells more like a porter or smoked beer than an IPA and the lack of hop presence is surprising for Sierra Nevada.
Tastes much like the nose, but a lot more bitter with more noticeable hops. Now, the hops show up more in the flavor, but this is still a malt dominated brew with lots of roasted notes and a mix of roasted malt, cocoa, wet coffee grinds, burnt grains, charcoal, molasses, dark chocolate, herbs, piney hops, light grapefruit, oaky notes, peat moss, anise, pepper and other spices like cumin or cinnamon. If fresh hops were added then they were wasted as they don't add any value to this mix; IPA by label, like the nose this is more like a porter or smoked beer than an IPA and the chocolate roasted malts seem to be the strongest part of the aroma and flavor. Very earthy and a lot of smoky flavor which just added to the bitterness.
Mouthfeel is think and on the heavy side with average carbonation and a lot of roasted and smoky malt flavors that trail off bitter and more like charcoal that hops.
Overall it was OK but way too unbalanced for a Sierra Nevada IPA, if we can indeed call it an IPA. Seems like an IPA formula may have been used at the start, but this burnt grain/charred wood malt bomb is far from the fresh hop Estate IPA's they produce. This is a decent beer, but not smooth, not balanced and not what I was expecting. It would make for an average porter and above average smoke beer, but as a black IPA it fell short, especially from this legend of a brewer. Glad they tried this experiment, but not sure I'd buy another bottle.

As a young priest he revived a parish in a "bad" district by the simple method of showing great devotion to the sick. Wanting to be a missionary, he joined the Society of Mary (Marists) at 28. Obediently, he taught in the seminary for five years. Then, as superior of seven Marists, he traveled to Western Oceania where he was entrusted with an apostolic vicariate (term for a region that may later become a diocese). The bishop accompanying the missionaries left Peter and a brother on Futuna Island in the New Hebrides, promising to return in six months. He was gone five years.
Meanwhile, Pedro struggled with this new language and mastered it, making the difficult adjustment to life with whalers, traders and warring natives. Despite little apparent success and severe want, he maintained a serene and gentle spirit and endless patience and courage. A few natives had been baptized, a few more were being instructed. When the chieftain's son asked to be baptized, persecution by the chieftain reached a climax. Father Chanel was clubbed to death, his body cut to pieces.
Within two years after his death, the whole island became Catholic and has remained so. Peter Chanel is the first martyr of Oceania and its patron.

What the Family Needed
A Novel
Steven Amsterdam - Author
add to cart
- eBook - ePub eBook: $9.99
In this incandescent novel, a family's superpowers bestow not instant salvation but the miracle of accepting who they are.
But instead of crimes to fight and villains to vanquish, they confront inner demons, and their extraordinary abilities prove not to be magic weapons so much as expressions of their fears and longings as they struggle to come to terms with who they are and what fate deals them. As the years pass, their lives intersect and overlap in surprising and poignant ways, and they discover that the real magic lies not in their superpowers but in the very human and miraculous way they are able to accept, protect, and love one another.
"Remarkable ... at once magical and very normal, a wishful fantasy about the strength it can take to love one's family members well." A –Entertainment Weekly
"I loved this book… What I thought was so wonderful and moving about this book is, on the one hand, it's filled with really careful observation of quotidian details—it feels so real—and then there are these twists… This is really what a great storyteller does." –Bill Goldstein, "Bill's Books," NBC New York
"Brilliant, unexpected, wide-ranging and deeply moving, the story of one family's extraordinary—and sometimes otherworldly— negotiation of the very real hazards of life." –Maile Meloy, author of Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It
"Steven Amsterdam is a superhero and his power is to create stunningly crafted, heartbreaking stories that are as fun as they are brilliant. In this story of a 'super family,' the greatest ability on display is Amsterdam's own control of story, which outshines the fantastic by being even more so." –Mat Johnson, author of Pym
"There are moments when the writing's simplicity becomes its own kind of superpower… the book soars." –Publishers Weekly
"Pulses with hope… It's a tantalizing novel, one that's both sharp and touching, and Steven Amsterdam is fast becoming one of our most interesting writers." –The Canberra Times
"A wonderful novel: imaginative, intelligent, empathetic. It's like a cross between The Corrections and The Slap, except without any of the gloom or rage and with the addition of something that may or may not be either a form of magic realism or simply that old staple of the literary art, metaphor." –Sydney Morning Herald
"Surreal and fantastic… [Amsterdam] develops his own kind of reality that has more than a tinge of fantasy." –Kirkus
"Breathtakingly strange… the kind of book that can inspire us to think differently about the world and entertain us at the same time." –Washington Post
"Feels like a genuine discovery… Timely and unexpectedly moving." –The Daily Beast
"Brilliant… Thoughtful, intelligent, savvy… full of horror and hope and compels you to think." –Raleigh News & Observer
"Don't read this book in bed unless you want to stay up past your bedtime thrilled by the discovery of a new writer… [A] stunning read." –The Millions

Overcoming the 'no industry experience' hurdleOctober 18, 2013: 10:55 AM ET
Companies inundated with resumes often screen out anyone whose background is in a different business. Here's how to get past that.
FORTUNE -- Dear Annie: A friend sent me your article about how more managers are moving to find jobs, which interested me because I'm about to move halfway across the country. My wife, who was unemployed for two-and-a-half years, got a fantastic job offer in a different city, so, now that we've finally sold our house, we're going.
Just one problem: Our destination is pretty much a one-industry town and, unfortunately, it's not my industry. I've put out some feelers with big employers there and I am getting the impression that lack of industry-specific experience is going to make it tough to get hired, even though I'm highly regarded in my field, which is finance and compliance. I know people do manage to move from one industry to another, but how do they do it? Any suggestions? -- Trailing Spouse
Dear T.S.: Just wondering, does your wife's new employer offer job-search assistance to so-called trailing spouses? A 2012 Atlas Van Lines survey found that more than half (56%) of big companies do, so it's certainly worth asking if you haven't already.
MORE: Is the boardroom the last glass ceiling?
Whether or not such help is available, there's no question you're facing a tricky hurdle here. "Ordinarily, people have a choice about where to move, so they try to be strategic about it and pick a place where there are likely to be lots of opportunities," says Amanda Augustine, resident job search expert at TheLadders. To help with that, data analysts at TheLadders have come up with a new map that shows where in the U.S. the competition for management jobs is most, and least, intense.
Although the choice has already been made for you, your lack of industry experience isn't insurmountable. Finding a job is just going to take a lot more focused effort than it would if you weren't making the switch. Augustine recommends a three-step approach:
1. Tap your network. Of course, every job seeker has to do this, but you need to cast the widest possible net. "Reach out to anyone you know on LinkedIn, or from your college fraternity or alumni association, or former vendors, clients, and colleagues," Augustine says. Don't discount relatives, neighbors, or anyone else you meet in your new city: "Even if they don't work in the industry you're trying to get into, you never know who they know."
While you're at it, you might speak with some of your wife's friends and professional acquaintances, too. "The goal is to find people with whom you can do informational interviews -- not asking for a job, but finding out as much as you can about what's happening in your target industry and where your skills might fit," says Augustine. If you can wow one or two of these folks with your talents, it may get you in the door: "Our research has shown that you're 10 times more likely to be hired without industry experience if you have a referral from someone on the inside who will be in your corner."
2. Research, research, research. "Often, you can sell your achievements based on what a given company is going through at the moment," says Augustine. "For instance, if a potential employer is doing a major restructuring, and you have experience with making that work, say so in your cover letter and, on your resume, emphasize your role in a similar restructuring. The point is to find common ground between your past successes and what an employer needs right now."
Obviously, figuring that out will take lots of detailed study -- online, in the trade press, on each company's website, and in public documents like annual reports. "Set up Google alerts for the company and for keywords that are important in the industry," Augustine suggests. "In your cover letter, and later in an interview, it makes a great impression if you can offer insightful comments and ask smart questions about current industry trends and things the company is doing."
Pay particular attention to each company's culture. "Often an employer's web page, their tweets, and even their Facebook page can give you a sense of their corporate personality and how they see themselves," notes Augustine. "It matters. In most interviews for management jobs, we've found, only about 20% of the discussion is centered on specific skills. The other 80% is all about how well you'll fit into the team and the overall culture."

3. Be enthusiastic and willing to learn. "The right attitude can motivate a hiring manager to take a chance on a candidate despite lack of industry experience," says Augustine. "You want to emphasize that, although you do come from a different business, you've studied theirs thoroughly, and you're eager to keep learning more about it."
As with so many things, making this kind of jump gets easier the more times you do it. Augustine has seen some job candidates who have spent their whole careers hopping from one industry to another -- and who turn their adaptability into a selling point: "It's a little ironic, but people who have already made the leap from one industry to another a few times, and been successful at it, can point to that and say, 'I've adapted and added value in a different business before, and I'm looking forward to doing it again.'"
Good luck!

I have a really hard time with one facet of Scrum that I just do not agree with, and that's the collocation concept. I know that collocation is an important concept and that teams may be more productive if located together how does an organization account for remote employees (no nearby office) and offshoring possibilities? I just don't see collocation being a necessary, or even a viable solution anymore in a virtual world. Does anyone else out there think the collocation bias needs to change?

Hi Tracey,
While its always favorable, I didn't find a mandate where Scrum requires a co-located team to to produce an increment.
My curiosity had me checking the Scrum Guide and didn't see anything for this in Page 15 where the Daily Scrum is described.
I've worked with several different team set ups, and I found being co-located or at keadt in the same time zone was the most favorable.
Perhaps others can also share their insights.

The agile Manifesto tells us that face-to-face is the most efficent way. Not that it is the only one. What I see with my team is, that co-location makes the team share what they do not just while the daily-scrum, you have less barriers of asking and talking, you have shared breaks etc.. I think that is something why it is prefered.
But I agree with Nitin, I can't find any part where scrum "forbiddes" colocating teams.

I appreciate the feedback guys. I know it's preferred (not necessarily required) so I wanted to get people's take on just HOW preferred it is. :)
My team is distributed in 4 states and while I think we could be more productive if collocated I just don't know how much more productive. The team is extremely collaborative, open, and are just overall... succeeding. The team interaction and rapport is top notch and I just don't want something like a dictate saying that teams would be better if they were collocated to break that apart. That's the reason behind my question.
Again, thank you for your feedback.

"I know that collocation is an important concept and that teams may be more productive if located together..."
That's pretty much it, you answered your own question. While it's possible for teams to get by without being co-located, it's better if they are.
This is because individuals and actions are preferred over the processes and tools that would be needed to co-ordinate a distributed workforce. Co-located people have a richer communication channel than can be obtained by phone, email, teleconferencing, or even all of these technologies put together.

I've had a number of teams that have worked pretty well when distributed within the US, or when I've had colleagues that are temporarily in another country. However, my experience is that co-location is always preferable, especially when your team isn't a "team of experts". When you have teams that have varying abilities, then distributed teams are much, much worse.
I currently have 3 scrum teams on one product team that are spread between Bangalore, two islands in the Philippines, Seattle and Chicago. Most of the problems and delays we have are do to our teams being distributed globally. Culturally we're different, we speak different languages natively, and we're on opposite sides of the earth. Despite our team members being solid performers, very motivated to succeed and mostly co-located within their respective geographies, it's just very difficult to do Scrum when you're separated like this.
Even when you have the ideal team, it's very likely that the team would perform better when sitting in the same room. When you don't the "bias" toward co-located teams should become even more pronounced.

Hello Everyone
I have been working in a distributed team for more than a year. Our PO and a few team members are at US and SM and other members are in India. I agree that collocation is the preferred way of working but it doesn't mean distributed setup doesn't work at all. We also had some issue and over a period of time team is able to overcome those.

Beauty Boot Camp: Get the Natural Look Video
Wake up your makeup with these simple steps from makeup artist Justin Henry.
It??s the holiday season once more and jingle bells aren??t the only thing that??s going to be ringing, a lot of cash registers will be ringing too, ??cause we??re all gonna go shopping. At Marie Claire, we??ll try to make the job a lot easier by compiling this amazing luxury guide. The most wonderful gifts out there, and now, we??ve come down here to 5th Avenue which is retail mecca. To find out who??s buying what for whom, and when, and if they??re gonna buy anything on sales along the way. So let??s go see what everyone is doing this season.
We are always excited to make shopping in New York City.
We have a Bagaholic page for women that love beautiful statement bags and like really buttery gorgeous textures. Do you like any of these?
That one.
You love the Chanel. You love the Chanel bag which is a really fantastic clutch purse and a little chain handle, that??s your favorite. What??s your favorite, Milly?
Oh, the Salvatore Ferragamo.
We??ve put together all the major themes for gifts for basically everyone in your life and we??ve got a little bit over the top, and our theme is you know, have a sense of humor with the whole idea of wish list.
Our philosophy is you can get an amazing ticks of, stuff for men, incredible jewelry, beautiful high-end products that are giving something to charity, donating proceeds.
What would you say if you could buy a piece of jewelry and 25% of that would go to charity? Would you be just happy to buy that piece of jewelry?
Of course, definitely. As long as it??s going somewhere good, it doesn??t matter.
There??s a Mocha Monkey that JCPenney had put out, and it??s just a cute little toy for kids and indeed 100% of proceeds of the Mocha Monkey goes to the JCPenney Afterschool Fund.
Do you shop early or prepared or you did a last minute rush?
Early. I don??t like to rush with the people, too much traffic, too much anything. I like to do it early.
I like to go in for that last minute adrenaline rush and just pick up a few crazy kind of really well under pressure.
Eighty-two percent of women admit that during holiday gift buying, they buy for themselves. We don??t spend a lot of time shopping in concentrated period of time. We??re sort of like drive by shoppers, and so here, we??re doing all the shopping and suddenly like that appeals to me. I??ve been working really hard. I??m gonna get something for myself.
Lingerie, boots.
We have a saying here at Marie Claire this Christmas. One for me, one for them.
I do love perfumes and I??ve been meaning to smell the Tom Fort. I??ve heard so much about that, and I love the style of that.
We really up to our beauty coverage this year because there are luxury skin creams. They??re fantastic gifts.
The ties would be great for my dad. He??s very fashionable and funky and perfumes would be great for my mom.
I like the DVD and the Blackberry, so you would love to be tortured like I am with my Blackberry.
We had never lived to the time with more choice in terms of shopping. So, we??re covering every possible base.
There??s gonna be something for absolutely everybody on your list and you either take it to the stores and you take it to your computer and shop online as long as you got your credit card, you??re gonna have access to just about everything in book.
Two new cars, zero dollars. Seeing her react to the perfect gift, priceless.
You could win your choice of two identical gifts. One to keep and one to give away when you use your MasterCard and go to priceless.com.
Take for editors because all of the most unbelievable luxurious high-end products that we??ll put out on the market this Christmas were in the office, ready to be photographed and we were walking past trays their edible [unknown] of plenty, and we couldn??t touch, we couldn??t borrow. We just have to keep on walking. So we have been severely tempted but I??m sure it??s been very inspiring. So I??m sure if you do a little straw ball amongst all of the editors, they??re going to have some fantastic ideas but thus, that are ready to get out this month.
This year, I??m giving everyone cashmere travel blanket because I just think that everyone can use them either-- I mean, I just use mine at home, you know, or on the plane. It just makes me feel a little more at home when you??re away traveling. And then for myself this season, I??m treating myself to a Voiton iPhone cover for my phone since I dropped it so many times.
If you wanna get the man in your life something really cool, there??s a website called extravagift.com. I found flying lessons for my fiance on there. It??s 7 hours of flying lesson, it??s really fun. And for me, I??ve been eyeing the product clutches, the new product clutch in pink.
I would recommend for anybody who got them, buy a big gift box and send it with the 25 Best DVDs of all time. That??s what I??m gonna do to my man. But then fill it with half girly movies and have boy movies. I would say The Coen Brothers movie box. It??s got Miller Crossing, it??s got-- well, it??s got a lot of the great ones and I happen to be a big Coen Brothers fan but maybe they??ve got a guy in their life. It??s just that-- I mean, I don??t?? know a guy who isn??t a Coen Brothers fan.
Buy two copies of Super Bad on DVD. One for you, one to keep and one to go away.
I am surrounded by people who just had children and one of the things we shot for the lux guide were these giant picture books like the little engine that could and they??re $45 retail and they??re [unknown] like the super big, wonderful, beautiful hard back books.
The best gift our readers to give this holiday season is the National Geographic Lifetime Subscription. You can do it for about like $1,000 and it??s just really chic and it appeals to the whole family.
What I??m getting myself for this holiday season is one of the gold or sparkly pieces on my jewelry page for my lux list in December and I think one of the best gifts to give anyone that??s close to your family, friends is a nice bottle of Amarone wines.
My holiday gift recommendation is a bottle of the [unknown]. It??s packaged wonderfully, it tastes good and you can take it to all those wonderful parties you??re gonna be going to for during the holidays.
Once a year, companies come out with these sort of beautifully packaged really gifts of all things.
It sounds really exciting in the holidays because all of this really fancy packaging comes out.
I mean, I love this little [unknown]. I think it [unknown] so it feels really expensive but I think it??s definitely under $100. You open it up and there??s a really pretty lipglosses, and the best part is that this is very covert.
I think of cocktail when you can??t go wrong with because they??re so trendy and yet winter cocktail rings are always gonna be out of style for those big chunky rings. And also you get to make a statement immediately at a New Year??s eve party.
I slipped a piece of jewelry and it??s a little gold ring and it??s by a Royal Lopez Mejia. She stamps like words on to the inside and outside of the ring so you can pick up whatever words you want and it becomes personal to that person. They??re not that expensive. I know for sure you can find this over at lopezmejia.com and you can special order one for yourself with whatever words will fit on there to live by.

Backshift is a deduplicating (variable-sized, content-based blocks), compressing (xz or bz2) backup program. Full saves and incrementals are pretty indistinct other than the amount of data transmitted, somewhat like with "rsync --link-dest" but without the huge number of hardlinks. It also de-duplicates large file content at a granularity of about 2 megabytes on average; there tends to be a unique copy of each file with size less than around 2 megabytes on average.
ciss is a simple command line tool for helping to manage issues in human-workable ISSUES.txt files. You can use your favorite text editor for quickly updating your project issues, associate issues with file patterns in your project, and assign tags for status/milestone/custom usage.
csvgrep is a commandline program which enables users to execute searches on text-delimited files using a rudimentary query language. Its query language is bound to simplicity and expressivity, to be easily comprehensible. It aims at replacing both grep and awk when you are challenged to retrieve information from a text-delimited file based on the content of a specific field (or column). You can get what you want using the semantic already in the file's underlying structure.

Reusing earthquake debris to rebuild Haiti
Gera, a young pregnant woman living in the hills of Carrefour-Feuilles in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, is much relieved that the rehabilitation of the alleyway leading to her house has been completed.
Before that, "it was impractical moving around in the neighbourhood and going to the hospital, especially for pregnant women," she says.
- Eighty percent of the 10 million cubic metres of rubble from the earthquake have been cleared from the streets.
- The programme has helped more than 20,000 people find temporary jobs, nearly 40 percent of them women.
- More than 11,000 displaced families returned to their neighbourhoods of origin, leaving behind tents to start a new life.
The rehabilitation of sidewalks in Carrefour-Feuilles is part of a UNDP-supported pilot project that is repurposing debris from the 2010 earthquake for the construction of disaster-resistant houses, roads and riverbank protection structures.
More than 20 percent of the debris is recycled to make tiles, stairs and paving stones. So far, 80 percent of the 10 million cubic metres of rubble from the earthquake have been cleared from the streets through Haitian initiatives with the support of the international community. The joint UN debris management project has contributed to the removal of one million cubic metres. This programme has helped more than 20,000 people find temporary jobs, nearly 40 percent of them women.
To enable families repair and rebuild their homes themselves, UNDP has established community support centres in four neighbourhoods of the Haitian capital and in the city of Léogâne. Thirty thousand people benefitted from the initiative and over 1,000 families received US$500 dollar-grants to buy certified quality construction materials to repair their homes.
These grants were made through the project's innovative money transfer scheme via mobile phones, the first ever implemented in support of housing repair efforts. Nearly 7,000 people have been directly trained on practical issues related to safe repair and construction of houses and on urban planning and land tenure law in Haiti.
Through the Government's "16/6" project, supported by UNDP and other partners, internally displaced persons camps were closed and more than 11,000 families returned to their neighbourhoods of origin, leaving behind tents to start a new life. The initiative focuses on the safe return of displaced families while boosting economic opportunities in affected neighbourhoods, by creating income-generating activities, improving basic services and supporting small- and medium-sized enterprises.
"The rehabilitation of this alleyway has greatly improved our way of life," says Gera in Carrefour-Feuilles. "When it rains, students can now go to school without dirtying their shoes, and children can also play football."

Smoke detector, smartened. So, Nest, what next?
In the beginning, Nest Labs sprinkled Apple's design magic on thermostats, and the people loved it. Then it went after lowly smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and those pedestrian devices may never be the same. But what's next in Nest's bag of tricks?
On Tuesday, as expected, the hot smart appliances company founded by iPod creator Tony Fadell unveiled Nest Protect, its answer to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The news was first reported last month by former Wall Street Journal reporter Jessica Lessin.… Read more

OTC Treatment for Pinched Nerve and Preventive Measures
All back pain is not sciatica; nor is all sciatica-like pain in the lower back, buttocks and legs caused by a herniated disc. Too much attention is paid to serious sounding names of diseases and most of us tend to associate even 'similar' symptoms to them.
Sciatica is popularly known to be a symptom of a disc problem. Tenderness, tingling, pins and needles, numbness or a burning sensation in a limb is commonly associated with sciatica. Even though some people are quick to jump to such conclusions, it is not necessary that such kind of pain means a problem with your spine.
Sciatica-like pain or pseudo sciatica produces similar symptoms. It is often caused due to a pinched nerve and does not necessarily mean that you have to rush for a sciatic nerve treatment that involves prescription drugs. A pinched nerve is the result of compression, tightening or stretching of a nerve. Nerves like the radial, ulnar, femoral and sciatic that pass over bones are more vulnerable.
Most of the time, such sciatica-like pain can be treated with simple remedies that can be acquired over-the-counter. These include sciatica alternative remedies that are also worth trying in such cases. The most recommended treatment is to give the body and specifically the damaged area some rest. You can do so by modifying your activities to avoid those that cause or aggravate compression of the affected nerve. Try some muscle strengthening and stretching exercises to work on the affected area to relieve the compression.
Sometimes the area affected is highly mobile even during sleep. Wearing a splint or a brace on wrists or ankles during the day as well as while sleep will immobilize those parts and provide the much needed relief.
Homeopathic remedies form an integral part of any OTC treatment. Rhus tox, if the pain gets better on applying warmth and Arnica, if it follows an injury are among the most common homeopathic remedies for pain caused by a pinched nerve. Herbal tea made of equal parts of St. John's Wort, Siberian Ginseng and Skullcap will also ease pain equally well.
Rather than exposing and increasing your vulnerability to the condition, it is much better to take preventive measures.
- Good posture is a precondition for avoiding a pinched nerve.
- Pick heavy objects properly – bend your knees and not your back.
- Avoid sitting in the same position for long periods.
- If you have a sitting job, invest in an ergonomic chair or take a break every now and then to give rest to tensed muscles.
- Make exercise a part of your daily routine.
- Avoid putting on excess weight.
- Include lecithin in your diet; it can help to regenerate nerves.
On the face of it, a pinched nerve is a minor condition, but it can sometimes lead to other conditions like peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. It is imperative that the cause of pain be determined as these conditions may cause a permanent disability if not addressed to in time.

NFL Week 10 Preview: Broncos at Panthers
at CAROLINA PANTHERS (2-6)
Kickoff: Sunday, 1:00 p.m. EDT
Line: Denver -4, Total: 47
Sizzling-hot Denver tries to extend its winning streak when it pays a visit to Carolina on Sunday afternoon.
The Broncos have won three in a row overall and two straight on the road, SU and ATS. QB Peyton Manning has looked like the Peyton of old over the past five games, completing 76% of his passes for 316 YPG, including 15 TD and just 3 INT during that span. The Panthers' season was going down the toilet before an upset win in Washington last week. Their porous defense had its best effort since Week 1, holding the Redskins to 337 yards of offense and 13 points. QB Cam Newton managed the game well, but was underwhelming again, completing 13-for-23 throws for 201 yards— but no turnovers—against Washington's league-worst secondary.
Can the Broncos pull out another impressive victory? For the answer, connect to The Platinum Sheet for all the StatFox Experts picks for every NFL game throughout the 2012 season and playoffs.
Manning hasn't faced the Panthers since 2007, but his numbers against them in two starts are pretty pedestrian for his standards: 57.8% completions, 548 passing yards, 3 TD and 1 INT. For the first time since 2004, Manning has tossed 3 TD in five straight games, helping him to take the NFL lead in both passer rating (108.6) and completion percentage (69.5%). Manning has quickly built a great rapport with both of his starting receivers, Eric Decker and a Demaryius Thomas. Decker has 7 TD grabs in his past five games while Thomas has 95 receiving YPG for the season, good for 4th-most in the NFL. Decker has been bothered by a thigh injury, but he is expected to start on Sunday. While Denver's passing attack is in great shape, the ground game has been inconsistent, ranking 18th in the league with 107 rushing YPG. In the past three road games, the Broncos have managed just 65 rushing YPG on 2.9 yards per carry. Fumbling has been a huge problem for Denver, as it has lost 10 fumbles already -- K.C. is the only NFL team with more (15). Defensively, the Broncos rank in the top half of the NFL in both passing defense (221 YPG, 10th in league) and rushing defense (104 YPG, 12th in NFL). They have forced 12 turnovers this year, but half of those came three weeks ago in San Diego when Philip Rivers had six miscues.
Newton has not thrown the football well during his team's three-game home losing streak, completing just 51% of his passes for 616 yards (6.4 YPA), 1 TD and 4 INT. It would help if he had the kind of running game the Panthers showed off last season, when they ranked third in the NFL with 151 rushing YPG. This year, they have just 116 rushing YPG (12th in league), as the team tinkers with the workload of both DeAngelo Williams (3.7 YPC) and Jonathan Stewart (3.8 YPC). The return of No. 2 WR Brandon LaFell, who sat out last week's game with a concussion, will surely take attention away from top wideout Steve Smith and give Newton another reliable target. The defense is making strides, especially in terms of pressuring the quarterback, tallying 10 sacks in the past two games. The Panthers also have seven takeaways in the past four games, something they will need to do more of against a turnover-prone Broncos club.

Even some of the governor's allies concede that the General Assembly will likely vote Tuesday to reject Pat Quinn's proposed rewrite. That would make the original concealed carry bill they passed more than a month ago the law of the land, clearing the way for hundreds of thousands of Illinoisan's to get permits and to start packing next year. Would that reduce the killing or not?
Supporters of concealed carry have long argued it is a criminal's worst nightmare -- not knowing if a potential victim might be armed and ready to fight back -- but some supporters now concede concealed carry likely will not have much impact on the majority of Chicago's murders. Experts say those involve internal warfare among the city's street gangs, with billions of dollars in illegal drug sales at stake.
"This is not going to be the be-all, end-all solution," says gun rights attorney David Sigale. "And obviously other factors have to be addressed if we want to tackle the violence problem."
Gun rights attorney David Sigale helped win the concealed carry case that led a federal court to impose Tuesday' deadline for Illinois to adopt a law allowing residents to pack loaded guns. With only a few hours left, the debate raged on about what that could mean on the street.
"I'm not optimistic about it. I think it's not a good thing and I think that there's a risk that the homicide will increase," say Professor Dennis Rosenbaum, a consultant to Chicago police. "Whether it's with mental illness, whether it's with alcohol or whatever, if we're increasing the number of handguns available, there's a risk of problems."
As Governor Quinn signed a new law strengthening anti-gang witness protection programs, he was still hoping to score a surprise victory in the State Capitol Tuesay. He suggested the General Assembly's version of concealed carry could let gang members get gun permits.
"We're not gonna let the gang bangers take over," Quinn said.
Though a background check would be required for everyone seeking a concealed carry permit, Sheriff Tom Dart's suggested that, with 300,000 or more expected to apply, the system could be overwhelmed.

Aaron's 499 winner Jimmie Johnson handed his draft partner and Hendrick Motorsports teammate the flag, and it still counts as Earnhardt's 101st consecutive race without a victory.
It just felt like a victory for Earnhardt, who pushed Johnson to a last-lap pass and victory by what tied as the closest margin since the advent of electronic timing in NASCAR.
"In some respects, he was more worried about the team," Johnson said. "He's very responsible for this win today."
And very much a team player.
Nobody came to Talladega more hungry for a victory than Earnhardt. He hadn't won since 2008, and the 100-race winless streak was the longest of his 12-year Sprint Cup career.
It would have meant everything for Earnhardt to win at Talladega. He's won here five times, more than at any other track, and "Daleadega" fans seamlessly transferred their love for Earnhardt's late father onto the namesake son.
But Junior is part of NASCAR's best team, and Hendrick came into the day with the four top-qualifying cars. Jeff Gordon had the pole, Johnson was on the front row, Mark Martin third and Earnhardt fourth.
Gordon and Martin came into the day planning to partner up as two-car draft partners. Johnson and Earnhardt did the same.
During the race, Johnson and Earnhardt determined they were better off with Earnhardt pushing and Johnson in front.
"I was more comfortable pushing Jimmie," Earnhardt said. "I think we were the fastest combination that way.
"For some reason, when I was leading, I would drive off of his nose and just get away from him and we couldn't stay together."
So they ran with Johnson in front — the No. 88 pushing the 48 as they combined their Hendrick power.
On the final lap, that power was just enough.
The Gordon-Martin combination had surged to the lead against the tandem of Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick. Late in the lap, Bowyer-Harvick moved to the high side of the track, and Gordon-Martin moved from the low side to the middle.
Johnson-Earnhardt saw the opening and made their move, per radio communication.
"When we got clear of the pack coming to the white, and I told Jimmie just don't let up, no matter what," Earnhardt said. "He was telling me, 'All right, here we go.'
"At first, it looked like up the middle, then no, we're going to the bottom. I just tried to stay in the back of him."
Martin appeared to attempt to block too late, and he and Earnhardt nearly made contact.
"Somehow, I was able to give Jimmie enough of a shove to get him through there," Earnhardt said. "If I couldn't win the race, I was wanting Jimmie to win the race, because I was working with him all day long.
"He's my teammate, and I'm proud to be driving for Hendrick Motorsports."
Johnson edged Bowyer by .002 of a second, matching Ricky Craven's 2003 victory at Darlington for closest margin in the electronic timing era.
In all, Hendrick had four of the top eight finishers. Gordon was third, Earnhardt fourth and Martin eighth.
Earnhardt did a victory spin on pit road, just in front of the turn-in to the garage area.
Later, Johnson stopped by, reached out the driver's side window of his car and handed Earnhardt the checkered flag.
"He was like, 'I don't want it,'" Johnson said. "I said, 'I've got to give you something, here.' I just wanted to thank him for a job well done today."

Temperatures soared at the Greenbrier Classic on Thursday, but the scores went the other way with several players who posted low numbers in round one.
Right now, Vijay Singh is atop the leaderboard with a 7-under-par 63. Jeff Maggert and Martin Flores are tied for second at 6-under. J.B. Holmes, Webb Simpson, and Andrews Romero each finished the day at 5-under.
Singh is in the hunt for the first time in a long time.
"You know it's my first good round of the year I'd say I felt really comfortable with and it's a good way to start a tournament and I'm looking forward to the rest of the week," Singh said.
Tiger Woods had a rough debut at the Greenbrier. Woods, who is coming off a win at the AT&T National in Maryland, finished at 1-over 71.
Tiger had a tough time in his first trip around the Old White, saying he never could quite get a read on the greens, which played much slower than he expected."
"I was a little bit off on my game and on top of that, I didn't have the speed of these greens at all," Woods said. "My last three tournaments the greens were awfully quick and they had a lot of swing at the end because of how fast they are and I missed literally every single putt today. I definitely need to do some work. I need to do a little bit of work and definitely need to change my reads. The golf course is definitely a course you could tear apart today."
John Daly turned in a 2-under 68.U.S. Openchamp Webb Simpson was dialed in. Simpson Simpson shot a 5-under 65 to get in the hunt.
Jeff Maggert is also right there after shooting a 64 in the first round. "I certainly wasn't expecting to play as well as I did today but the ball striking was fantastic today. I just kept the ball in play and gave myself opportunities to make birdies and it was just nice and steady all day long."
By the time the afternoon rolled around most of Tiger's gallery had migrated over to Phil Mickelson's group, which included former Greenbrier Classic champs Scott Stallings and Stuart Appleby. But conditions late proved to be not as conducive to scoring as they did in the morning.

Reno >Community & Social Services > My First School
2912 Plumas St, Reno, NV | Directions 8950939.495413 -119.812195
Neighborhoods: Ward 2
They are rude – My son use to go to this school and let me tell you they are so rude. Bryn will try to nicley insult you every chance she gets. I heard them yell at the kids and put them down ( I spied on them by standing outside the playground fence so they didn't know I was there) and they bad mouthed the parents. I clearly took my son out and I don't reccomend them to anyone. If your child is currently attending My First School I suggest spying on them too. They are good around the parents but when they think their alone they change.
Best preschool in town...read this and see why!!! – This preschool is a "must have" if you have any interest in the best for your child. The center has a home-like setting, beautifully decorated classrooms, and it's clean...I mean really clean. Their staff has NO turn-overs, and the teachers are actually experienced, not high school kids looking for an extra buck. My 2 kids can't wait to get to school, and their teachers are just as happy to see them...open arms with big hugs and encouraging words. This is the first place my kids wave goodbye to me out the window, and not scream trying to get me to come get them. At the end of the day, they want to stay, and I have to drag them out!
The owners have a vested interest in their school, as Martha is not only the Director, but is involved in every classroom making sure HER expectations are always met, and trust me...they are! The play yard was re-finished last summer, and it's beautiful. Looks like a park...grass, pavers, and rubber bark under the playground equipment. Nice to know my kids are safe. Thats worth every penny.
The prices are very moderate, and for what the other centers in the area are charging...wow...the saying "You get what you pay for..." really comes into play. There, you actually get WAY more than what you pay for! Just look at the quality of equipment, art supplies, furniture, snacks...not hard to see there is pride in this school.
I would reccommend this school, hands down, above all the rest. Just go see for yourself!

← Ratzinger is the Perfect Pope
Ratzinger is the Perfect Pope - Comments
Ah, but as upstanding, objective and well-informed Catholics advise us, the whole affair is a fantastic campaign orchestrated by Church-hating and dishonest media, namely the New York Times, Der Spiegel, Die Welt, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and now also joining in, the Washington Post and the Telegraph.
But be reassured, 70,000 Roman youth attending the Pope's sermon and the millenial age of the Church indicate that nothing will ever change and all is well.
Excuse me while I go puke.

Come on, Richard. Don't hold it in - tell us what you really think.
No, actually I applaud this. There are times when speaking out against something "stridently" and directly without shame is exactly the morally appropriate response regardless of the fact that it will offend some people. This is such a case.
Permalink Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:36:00 UTC | #453384
Here are two serious questions to Dawkins and others who agree with him:
Would the evidence that Ratzinger "covered up" the abuse of children hold up in a court of law? If you find that you are mistaken about this evidence, will you apologize to Ratzinger?
I might observe, it's very funny how this is being conducted. There's no sense of "This is what the evidence seems to indicate, but I'm sorry if I'm wrong." For Dawkins, Hitchens and company, it seems to be more than anything else a great opportunity to slander the Pope (regardless of how strong is the data implicating him).

OK, I agree He shouldn't resign, let him stay on, stonewall, act like an ass in general, and thus bring down the church. As the great W Bush used to say: "Denial is a river in SOUTH AMERICA".
Out of shame he should at least turn in his "shroud of Turin" beach towell.

Haha, very short article. Right to the point.
I think my greatest fear with this whole ordeal is that nothing will change. After all, they've been responsible for some really nasty stuff in the past, and here they still are. Even in the modern world where religion now plays a lesser role in people's lives, it seems to me to be a daunting feat to ever get away with trying to get away with a trial on these people because of their fan club. Celebrities get off of the hook easy. And in this case, the law is dealing with something far scarier than a regular celebrity. It is up against religious celebrities. Something in my gut tells me that they might get off without too much fuss. I reeeeally hope I'm wrong.

Well then it's up to those of us who care about what certain primates do to our fellow primates (pun intended) to make as much fuss as possible.
Until the mid 60's it was traditional for a monk to appear three times before a new pope at his coronation, to burn a taper and utter the words "sic transit gloria mundi" (thus passes the glory of the world) as a reminder of the transitory nature of life and earthly honours. It is about time Herr Ratzinger had such a reminder, but in his case it should be the whole of his church that burns.

As a the first representant of the church, it absolutely is his responsibility to address the epidemic of child abuse (past and ongoing). That said, I guess he IS being an apt representant of the attitude of the higher levels of the church: "Oh, we're so sorry. But let's all move on and focus on other people's sins, shall we?..."
Who'd let this man kiss their babies??

My first thought is the unoriginal "why don't you tell us what you really think?"
My second is a little more reflective. All their lives, members of the Catholic church have been told by their leaders that god watches over everything they do. God cares for you. Why is it that these people cannot connect the dots - that this all-seeing god can allow the priesthood behave in these ungodly ways, and have the leaders back at headquarters in Rome go so far in the opposite direction from what is right?

NonLocality makes a valid point. Would the evidence stand up in court? The point is, it would be nice to see if it would. Unfortunatey, it seems doubtful that things will get that far.

NonLocality - on what basis are you of the opinion that the evidence against him is thin? The papertrail leads right to his desk, and carries his personal seal of approval. Even his army of spin-doctors don't deny the allegations, but their apologies are half-arsed at best. The institutional coverups under threat of excommunication? Sounds a lot like aiding and abetting child abuse to me.
Personally I won't apologise to that wizened old bastard whatever the outcome, as he's already proven himself so irredeemably odius and bigoted, even child abuse coverups are merely the mouldy icing on the already fetid cake.
If it wasn't this, perhaps you could factor in the deaths in Africa which could have been prevented by providing condoms rather than spreading rumours that condoms cause AIDS. Or perhaps the rampant homophobia?
If anyone I knew had done a fraction of what he's done for the world I would happily shake them warmly by the throat. No apology here.
Cry me a river.

Made me think of the NOMA reply, of the Andrew Brown ilk. Who is going to bet against a slew of articles fingering the militant atheists for:
1. Making it impossible for the Pope to apologise properly.
2. Making it unlikely that there will be any admission of failure.
3. Making it difficult for the pope to resign.
4. Proving yet again why religion should be beyond the reach of secular justice.
5. Not shutting up, you pitch-fork waving torch burning shrill bastards.
Then it is only a hop-step and a Phillips to blaming atheists for papist buggery.

You can find a good summary of what happened here. Check out the cited links if you don't trust Wikipedia.
The paper trail does lead to Ratzinger, yes. That is the furthest the "evidence" actually goes. Whether Ratzsinger actually read and understood the documents in question is a matter of pure speculation.

Chuckle! That is about the first thing I've seen from Richard that could (almost) be described as strident!
I have a feeling that whether or not the Pope is guilty as charged is somewhat irrelevant. Either way, the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church is discredited.
I have just added a section "What is the Roman Catholic Church for?":
This is based, of course, on Stephen Fry's brilliant retort at that debate last year: After Ann Widdecombe's defence of the Church not condemning slavery because it was acceptable at the time, he said "And what is the point of the Catholic Church if it says 'we couldn't know better because nobody else did'. Then what are you for?"

Frequently accused of being "strident" when clearly he is not, has RD deliberately adopted stridency for this article for 2 reasons.
1) Because he is writing for a paper in the Land of Bill O' Reilly and Rush Limburgh.
2) Because by writing as he writes he will retain the approval of those of us whom share his views, while giving an excuse to those wanting to excuse the Pope, thus keeping him in position as head of the RCC in the (probably forlorn) hope that his presence will accelerate its collapse.
Anyway, the RCC has survived on torturing and burning innocents over centuries, surely a little local kiddy-fiddling won't hurt it?
To (mis)quote Blazing Saddles: (their followers)... are frontier folk, simple people, you know - morons".
On a more positive note, the RCC was seriously inconvenienced and weakened by the Reformation which protested about the abuses popularly perceived as prevalent. Nuns were visited by seccubi remarkable for their similarity to their local priest, indulgences were sold with the alacrity of snake oil salesmen. Perhaps this will be yet another nudge on the path to collapsing this unedifying house of cards

What makes you think it wouldn't?
Your opinion that Ratzinger hadn't read the documents in question (your post 17)?
Anyway, bit of a red herring, old chap: you can't impeach monarchs of tinpot kingdoms.
I also think the Pope has a whole lot more to say sorry for than Dawkins.

Nonlocality - That really is grasping at straws.
So he gets passed a large quantity of letters/memos about child rape with the word "Urgent" stamped all over them and then what? They ALL fell behind the filing cabinet? The papal dog ate his papal homework? Someone thought they weren't important enough for him to be personally informed of them?
He couldn't understand them? All that cash and he can't get a translator huh? What's a Cardinal to do?
Get real. As Epeeist said, he's either criminal or incompetant. Or maybe criminally incompetant. I'm not really up for hairsplitting debates as to whether he opened the many letters and memos that were his responsibility. I just think it's a bit of a coincidence that the priests involved ended up in therapy and other parishes instead of behind bars as a result of all these letters he didn't open.

I think someone--the Pope himself, I think--already did that in Ireland: he blamed secularization.
I'll try to track down where I'm remembering that from and post a link or something.
EDIT: Found it. On PZ's blog:
Sadly, this latest everybody-is-responsible-so-nobody-is-to-blame defense is of a piece with a little-noticed section of Benedict's letter to the Irish church in which he seemed to blame the crisis, in part, on "new and serious challenges to the faith arising from the rapid transformation and secularization of Irish society."

Let no one be in doubt about how RD feels on this issue - he's right of course.
I think NonLocality has a point - For all his apparent guilt, is there actually enough solid evidence in a single jurisdiction that directly implicates Herr Pope? I can't imagine the vatican being exactly helpful if the police come knocking... are catholic authorities foolish enough to leave an incriminating papertrail?
Personally, I hope he spends 5-10 years in HM Wormwood Scrubs - that'll give him new insights into his theological musings.

It took the Raping Catholic Church a few centuries to apologize for the trial of Galileo and their other criminal activities. With that sort of time frame, Pope Joey "The Rat" Benedict won't even be around in the 24th century when whatever's left of the criminal organization possibly apologizes.

The papal dog ate his papal homework? Someone thought they weren't important enough for him to be personally informed of them?Do you know the word "Urgent" was stamped on them, or are you just making that up? According to Rev. Lorenz Wolf, the memo was "routine" and was "unlikely to have landed on the archbishop's desk". So no, I don't think I'm grasping at straws. Nor would I have any motive to do so. I'm a neutral bystander in this, whereas you are militant atheists who make a hobby (or in some cases, a living) out of disparaging theists.
